In my theology class my teacher asked me to pick any poem in a book and asked me to read it aloud. From the hundreds of pages in that book only one stuck out.
Where Life Never Ends:
Neverending dream where life never ends –
where people live in perfect harmony
where color is not wrong
where we can walk and sing without laughter of putdowns
where someone greets you with words of joy
where loneliness and inequality become a speck of dirt
in the winds of the past –
But reality must come first.

It's the middle of the night
I can't sleep...I am currently listening to the song Work by Jimmy Eat World at 2:01am on repeat. It's a verrrryyyy good song.
If you only once would let me
Only just one time
Then be happy with the consequence
With whatever's gonna happen tonight
Don't think we're not serious
When's it ever not
The love we make is give and it's take
I'm game to play along
All I can say
I shouldn't say
Can we take a ride?
Get out of this place
While we still have time
oh oh, oh oh oh
oh oh, oh oh oh
All the best DJs are saving
The slowest song for last
When the dance is through
It's me and you
Come on, would it really be so bad?
The things we think might be the same
But I won't fight for more
Its just not me to wear it on my sleeve
Count on that for sure
All I can say
I shouldn't say
Can we take a ride?
Get out of this place
While we still have time
You want to take a ride?
Get out of this place
While we still have time
Yeah - We still have time
oh oh (ahhhhhhhh)
oh oh (ahhhhhhhh)
oh oh (ahhhhhhhh)
oh oh (ahhhhhhhh)
Can't say I was never wrong
But some blame rests on you
Work and play they're never okay
To mix the way we do
All I can say
I shouldn't say
Can we take a ride?
Get out of this place
While we still have time
You wanna take a ride?
Get out of this place
While we still have time
We still have time
oh oh, oh oh oh
oh oh, oh
Here are the lyrics:
If you only once would let me

WWWWWWWHHHYYYYY can't I fall asleep!?!?!?!?!?! UGHHH these past couple days its been hard for me to sleep but i still managed. I think i might just pull an all nighter or something. I'm going to listen to Jimmy Eat World all night probably to see what other songs I like from them....to bad my computer in the basement is broken so i cant update my ipod or make cds :(. I had to resort to Charlene's laptop for now but she's leaving on monday. Once she's gone I wont have the internet and stuff. Alright well I'm bored so I'm just going to post this.....idk why i even wrote it
I wish I was
I wish I was a writer so I can tell people a story and escape from reality
I wish I was a musician so I can give people the feeling that someone understands them
I wish I was an actress so I can bring a character to life
I wish I was a teacher so I can help shape the minds of our future
I wish I was a scientist so I can create something that can help the world
I wish I was a superhero so I can give people a sense of hope and security
I wish I was a neonatal nurse so I can have the relief of knowing that with every new born baby born God is not yet discouraged of us
I wish I was myself so I can show the world that I'm someone special.
